Coolant is an important part of the nuclear reactor, which can convert the fission energy into heat. At the same time, it can cool the core, and control the various components of the reactor in the allowable temperature. In this paper, gas-liquid two-phase flow is proposed as the coolant in the nuclear reactor. Based on the Monte Carlo method of particle transport program GMT program and LITAC program, the neutron performance, thermal hydraulic of nuclear reactor were calculated and analyzed. The operation of the new reactor will not be refuel for decades. The gas-liquid two-phase flow coolant can be used as one of the existing alternative coolants.
